Harrogate-based roofers covering Armley (LS12). Roof repairs, re-roofs, flat roofs, chimneys and gutters, priced in writing and guaranteed for ten years.
Stone terraces and back-to-backs climb the hill in tight rows here, party-wall stacks every few doors, with 1930s semis and post-war housing filling in behind. Armley is towards the far edge of what we cover, but we run into Leeds all the time and the price is for the work, not the mileage. The age of the house changes the materials, not the method: we survey properly, explain it in plain words, quote in writing and guarantee the work.
Leaks traced to the source, slipped slates re-fixed, lead renewed. One visit, one written price, ten-year guarantee.

Find out more →Slate and stone is the trade here. The Victorian terraces and back-to-backs climbing from the valley up to Armley Ridge Road and along Stanningley Road are roofed in Welsh slate on original timbers, with party-wall chimney stacks every few doors and shared gutter runs the length of the row. Period villas, converted HMOs and later semis fill out the picture. Roof repairs Armley residents ring about are usually about keeping a hundred-and-thirty-year-old slate roof going for another decade rather than replacing it.
The standard list is short and predictable: slates slipping because the nails have corroded away, back gutters behind shared stacks that were never lined in lead, chimney stonework opened up by weather off the west, and timber gutters on the older rows that have finally rotted through. Replacing rotten timber gutters with aluminium or UPVC on new brackets is one of the most worthwhile jobs we do on these streets. Where a roof really is finished, we re-slate on new battens and breathable membrane, reusing the sound slates and matching the rest from reclaimed stock rather than switching to something that will stand out in the row.
Shared stacks make Armley roofing a neighbourly business. A stack that needs repointing or a back gutter that needs renewing usually sits on the boundary between two houses, and doing one side only stores up trouble. We are happy to survey and price for both households so the cost can be split however you agree between yourselves, and to work through a whole terrace where several owners want the same job doing at once.
Armley sits on the far side of the city from us, around forty-five minutes from Harrogate on the A61 and the ring road, but the quote is for the work rather than the postcode and we are over this way most weeks. Repairs, re-slating, chimney and back gutter work, fascias, soffits and rainwater goods are all covered, and we will happily price for two neighbouring houses where a shared stack is involved. Free survey, photographs of the defects, a written price and a ten-year workmanship guarantee. Phone 0113 460 1042 and we will come and look at it.
Big period houses in Armley, whether still one home or now several flats, need proper scaffold and a roofer comfortable with old slate. Like-for-like replacement, stacks rebuilt where they have gone, dormers and bays sorted.
Newer houses in Armley still have roof problems, just different ones: dry-verge caps lifting, ridges that were never bedded properly, and snagging the builder walked away from. We put the details right and take over where the warranty ran out.
Rented and shared houses in Armley get looked at when something goes wrong and not before, so by the time we are called the gutters are full, a few slates are missing and the stack has not been pointed in decades. We deal with the agent, work round the tenants and send a photographed report with the invoice.
